IGN Insider - Worth it?

I have been thinking about subscribing, but would like to hear from some of you who might already have joined in the past. What do you exactly get for the money?

That said, since I have at least one magazine to resubscribe to that you can get for free with the $19.95 annual cost, I might do so and be out nothing as a result. Still, I am also considering putting that $20 to buying a game instead. Any recommendations?!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks guys!

In all honesty, I don't even go to IGN all that often, just trying to find a one-stop source (Free or Pay, doesn't matter) to take over for the 5-6 different gaming magazines I am already subscribed to and will need to renew this year...

Oh well, I'll continue my search for now. Not in a hurry and just got a free EGM subscription a few days ago. Maybe that'll tie me over until I find one uber Magazine or website.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Doesn't Gamespot now offer a similar collection/wish list like IGN? Personally, that's the only reason I go to IGN's site most of the time these days. Sometimes I'll read the forums, but usually do that at GameFaqs when looking for walkthroughs to begin with.

Normally, I'd agree with that. But, with the amount I spend per year on hardcopy magazines, well...

The search continues...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
